PFAS and lithium: what EPA's national survey found

EPA tested this water for 30 substances and found none of them at levels its laboratories can measure.

Between February 2024 and September 2024, EPA's UCMR 5 program tested 60 samples from 1 sampling location for 30 contaminants (29 PFAS plus lithium). None were found above their minimum reporting levels.

Sampling-point average: mean of a location's two (ground water) or four (surface water) UCMR 5 results with non-detects counted as zero, EPA's method for comparing UCMR 5 data to the PFAS MCLs. EPA rounds to the reference value's significant digits before deciding whether an average is "greater than" an MCL (PFOA/PFOS averages count as above 4.0 ng/L only from 4.05 ng/L; lithium results count as above the 10 ppb reference only from 15 ppb). This site does not apply that rounding: "at or above" here means the measured value is numerically at or above the reference.

Utility-reported context (UCMR 5 questionnaire, aggregated across sampling events): PFAS previously found at this system: yes at 1 of 2 sampling events, no at 1 of 2 sampling events; potential PFAS sources nearby: no at 2 of 2 sampling events; PFAS treatment in place: no PFAS treatment at 1 of 1 sampling event.

Lead at customer taps

In the latest completed monitoring period, ending Dec 1, 2025, 9 in 10 sampled homes had lead at or below 0.7 ppb, below the 15 ppb action level that triggers utility action. None of the 13 periods on record reached it.

In the most recent completed lead monitoring period, ending Dec 1, 2025, the 90th-percentile lead result at customer taps was 0.7 ppb, below the action level of 15 ppb (13 monitoring periods on record, none at the action level). The 90th percentile is the value that 9 in 10 sampled homes were at or below. Values are in parts per billion (ppb).

Drinking water violations since Sep 3, 2016

EPA lists 3 violations since Sep 3, 2016. None is health-based. All concern missed monitoring, reporting or public notices, not the water itself.

EPA's SDWIS database lists 3 violations recorded since Sep 3, 2016: 2 for monitoring or reporting, 1 other (public notification or consumer confidence report requirements), none health-based.

Sanitary surveys and site visits

Most recent state inspection: Jun 25, 2024 (sanitary survey); 2 visits since Sep 3, 2021.
